Narrow band fm nbfm often uses deviation figures of around 3 khz. Know the relationship of carrier frequency, modulation frequency and modulation index to efficiency and bandwidth compare fm systems to am systems with regard to efficiency, bandwidth and noise.
In audio and music frequency modulation synthesis or fm synthesis is a form of audio synthesis where the timbre of a simple waveform is changed by frequency. However, modulation is extensively used in most communication systems. Amplitude modulation am is a modulation technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting information via a radio carrier wave. This gives fm another advantage over other modulation schemes that require linear amplifiers, such as am and qam. Both the input and output signals are real scalar signals. Fm radio was assigned the 4250 mhz band of the spectrum in 1940. Angle modulation modulation where the angle of a sinewave carrier is varied as a function of the intelligence amplitude. This form of modulation was developed by the american electrical engineer edwin h.
